Panicked Veronica Mars thought

[dangermousie]

Well, you know how everyone seems to be on a Veronica/Logan bandwagon? All well and good, but I just realized that in Buffy parallels, Duncan=Angel and Logan=Spike. And I was such a hardcore B/A shipper. Oh no....Now I have a hideous image of myself being one of (it seems like) 10 people who ship V/D (OK, bad initials, make me think of "venerial desease" :P) and everyone else being all uncomprehending and going "whaaaaa?"

Or not. Maybe I'll be all over V/L because it will have the bestest angst or something. But then...being a B/A and S/B shipper at the same time (or sort of) ought to make one's head explode...

Plus, I don't think we get episodes and episodes of V/D exclusivity hearts'n'flowers which would make it OK.

Well, I'll stick to being a canon nazi, and that way I'll just ship whichever way the show goes.

I need sleep. But this musing over a show I've not yet seen is distracting me from seeking Serenity spoilers, so all well and good.

OMG, hah. I remember that. I read that post. I also thought it was crazy.

So, no, that was not me. I like to think I'm a little sane.

Phew, I'm relieved. Whoever that was she gave your cause a baaaaad name.

See, the thing is. That's not my cause.

I don't even have a cause.

I'm just that bitchy chick sitting over in the corner going, "OMG STFU ABOUT LOGAN BEING SPIKE!"

Buffy/Spike shippers? Their emotional trauma at the hands of the Whedon? The psychology of slashers that arose from that?

Dude, I couldn't care less.

That was some funny stuff wasn't it?

I dunno, it's just that the way I remember it one of her big issues also was the problem of the Spike/Logan transference. And I do think that she complained too about people just taking their meta and issues from Buffy and unfairly applying them to Veronica Mars. But you might be right, maybe her problem was to some extent that she did see Logan as Spike (or as Logan being her chance for her to get a better ending for her Spike) and was freaking out that he might end up being written like Spike.

Hilarious.

I started to nod off somewhere around the middle of the endless essay so I don't recall too much of it. So, I believe you if you say she made some of the same points.

I guess, in the final analysis, the thing is that I hated Spike/Buffy for eating my show and thus didn't care when it ended and thus have absolutely no emotional reaction to other ships' similarities or lack thereof to it.
